2024 Chinese Grand Prix - Practice, Sprint & Qualifying Thread

[FerrariF60]

obviously because all of the delusional ham fanboys that want to gift him pole, as if he hasn't already been gifted enough in his F1 career. The "#8timesworldchampion" crew are out in full force begging the FIA to disqualify Lando.

Norris went off on his prep lap, and remained within track limits for his timed lap. He did not gain an advantage, if anything, he probably lost time by hitting the gravel before starting his flying lap.

totally agree 1000% with what you said about Hammy fanboys
just think how bad next year gonna be when he comes over to Ferrari and all teh Hammy fanboys will follow him on all social platforms, forum....etc

[Cavallino]

he barely touched the gravel, if you keep your foot in you're going to gain time

i'd love to see the telemetry

Elbows out from Charles. Well done, that was dirty from Sainz.

[jgonzalesm6]

Leclerc just schooled Sainz for 4th place on lap 17.

[tifosi1993]

Max, Perez and Charles started on used mediums and yet they had the best race pace.

Charles needs to qualify better today. He can challenge the Red Bulls here.

[tifosi1993]

Ferrari needs to rein in and put Sainz in his place. Sainz always goes over aggressive against Charles, but today Charles got his elbows out finally.

No need to placate to a driver who's nothing but another team's agent.

Leclerc on team radio about Sainz.

NO FURTHER ACTION following the contact between teammates Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

[Brembo]

Sainz got the boot! That's putting someone in their place for sure! Except for when it comes to winning a race. They let the wrong driver go.

[Kyss4k]

Charles redeemed himself on those old tyres. Actually a nice race from him considering he was on tyres which had 4 laps already in them compared to others. Just qualify well finally man

[GoodtimesF1]

Long time Ferrari fan and long time lurker here. I'm truly amazed at the amount of (unjustified)hate Carlos gets in the place. Zero comments on the absolute bonehead move from Alonso, a driver I rate highly, that destroyed Carlos's race. It's like some of you want to pretend that Charles would not put up a fight if the roles were reversed?

Carlos did nothing wrong and passed Alonso fair and square on the track. Alonso than dived into a gap that wasn't really there and pushed Carlos of the track. This should of been a podium for our team but you guys would rather bicker about the incident between our drivers.

Sainz has just showed himself to be a piece of ****

Couldn't overtake Alonso and formed a queue behind him. Tried his best to ruin Leclercs race. Thank god he's going.

[Kyss4k]

We have the slowest first sector of the whole field. Huh?

[Aviamata]

This session is intersting , low grip made it unpredictable

Insane comment and you must not have watched what happend. Carlos passed Alonso fair on the track. Alonso took him out by dive bombing on Carlos like he was not there. . That's why he was given a 10 second penalty!!

[Aviamata]

Track evolution is so strong

[Aviamata]

RIP Hamilton

[jgonzalesm6]

That's why he was given a 10 second penalty!!

And 3 points added to his superlicense.

[jgonzalesm6]

RIP Hamilton

LOL......Hamilton out of Q1.

So, he gets P2 in the Sprint Qualifying on the softs and during Qualifying on softs he's out of Q1. I don't get it.......

I've just watched the whole thing. Sainz was continuously within 4 tenths for 10 laps behind Alonso coming into the first DRS detection zone, he then loses half a second by the time the 1st DRS activation zone comes. That's bad driving in general, he forced Leclerc off the track, you don't do that to your team mate. I don't care about Alonso, he's an ********, we all know that. Good to see the Sainz mask slipping though, people were questioning Ferrari and Charles but ultimately that kind of behaviour shows your true colours.

[patrese86]

The only good thing about Hamilton joining Ferrari is he can bring other personnel with him, like Bono, engineers.

Just in terms of his natural ability though to drive a car, that's clearly declining rapidly.

He get a P2 and a reversed P2 this weekend

[jgonzalesm6]

Totally inconsistent of a 7x WDC title holder. Like I said, he's washed up.

[Kyss4k]

Leclerc is losing half a second in sector 1 consistently.

You act like Charles would have passed Alonso with ease. The truth is that the only reason he was close was because Also were holding them behind. You still ignore the fact that Alonso ran Carlos of the road. What are you talking about masks slipping? You're just a fanboy not objectively looking at what is happening on track.You're the type that keeps quiete when Charles makes life hard for his team mate but starts foaming at the mouth when somebody does it back. Give me one good reason why Carlos should make life easy for Charles? They were only fighting each other for the points at that point.

[patrese86]

There goes Sainz again.

[Kyss4k]

Oh dear god

[Aviamata]

SAI crashed

[jgonzalesm6]

Sainz bins it during Q2.....hope the car is okay.


Edit: he's missing the front wing.
